We have terra-cotta floor tiles and they are quite soft. I have used the blue plastic jobbies and have found that they don't scratch the floor. How are you going to seal the oak? If it were me I would use hard wax oil. It's as tough as anything and usedon hotel reception wooden flooring. So it...

Phil's got the right idea. Put some dimentions together with a drawing and post it on the turning forum. I'm sure someone will help? Shame I'm not a lot closer or I would do it for you. I just thought? I for one would be interested in your barrel organ. Do you have any plans or is it an 'as you...

AES that is where the confusion is? A Paperwhite is lacklit and can be read by a black cat in a coalcellar at midnight mate :mrgreen: I have a Paperwhite and it's just as clear in our strong sunlight as in the dark.

Just a quick correction and quote of the first few words of the link "The first in an exciting new series" My favourite series is Horatio Hornblower, CS Forester. A superb read. I too and a Jack R fan and I may become a Corridor reader too as I have got the sample of the 1st 3 books. I'm...

Shame that those eggs aren't good quality cokky and mainly sugar? whoever decided when they are going to be munched. And what ever the moon phase, i fthey can decide the supposed day that JC was born then why can't the decide when he was topped? The calanders weren't changed by then surely...

It would seem that the church don't even know when JC was borne and just knicked a pagen date for that, so how can someone just pop his clogs to benifit some bloke in Rome? Perhaps it's all bound in with the rest of the 'pick-n-mix' of their story book? :mrgreen: Here too in France the fête...

Mumz day is next week here, and it's on a Sunday :shock: Thinking about different days for happenings? How come that JC was nailed up on one day one year and another on a different year? Is it a coincidence that it always happened on a Friday :roll: :roll:

They don't change at all in Queensland Strine cobber :o , but according to my sister wot lives just over the border in NSW they are a bit odd anyway? That's not my opinion, just that of dear sis :mrgreen: So it now gets an hour later an hour earlier :? :? and here it gets 2 hours later an...

The wattage if an incandescing bulb is also the heat it will chuck out and the restriction on a wattage is purely for that. I have turned 4 angle poise typy lamps, all with G10 fittings, mains voltage bulbs. In fact I'm using one now as I tyrpe this and they don't get hot even after hours...

Well at lease he is removed from the gene pool! http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-39307418 Although quite wha it has to do with Apple I have no idea?

What a stupid mastike to make! Just cause they are 2 of the same make that's no excuse. We used to have 2 Citroëns before we moved over and in all the time we had them I never made a silly mastike like that. Just cause one was a BX and the other was a 2CV was nowt to do with it :twisted...

AES you are correct that they don't use ring mains. It's all star and you are only allowed a certain number of sockets on each spur of the star. As for the 3 pin plugs? The Frrench have 2 pins, line and neutral and a socket for the earth. They also have 2 pin plugs that are either round with...

You mean as in "I are going "as opposed to "I is going"? And there're ways. I got my O level English when I were in the R.A.F. and that were at Brize Norton in about 1972 when I were 28. The R.A.F. pass mark for any exam were 80%. No grades, just pass or fail. They exams were much are-der then...

Welcome from me too. What sort of turning do you do? Any specialities and for how long? Also, what type of furniture? :mrgreen:

Ta for that link Nev. I may well be getting a few of they things! As far as wiring into a U.K. 3 pin plug it depends as to whether you can wire it either way. If it's a lamp fitting, such as a table lamp or standard lamp, then it should be red/brown to the fuse and blue to neutral. Otherwise...

This was posted before and I wondered about it then? You could buy a hell of a lot of chipstoks and sell then at a loss and still be in pocket me=thinks, but then the Chineeze may be on a mission to take over the world?? :shock: :shock:

Prediktiff text has got to be the invertion of the devil (hammer)

Why? :? It may well stand out at Waitrose though?

This is what I use when I'm doing anything like bangles or curtain rings. This was for 40 curtain rings at about 2 1/4" internal diameter, but a bit bigger and you have whatever size you need. Easy to make and cheap as chips. I recessed the slot for the jubilee clip so the screw part is not...

I just wonder what glue he uses on his wig? I would like some as bullet proof stuff for alkward wood joints!! Now, this is really scary http://www.huffingtonpost.com/daniel-be ... 18128.html
